26 Setup and Administration
command line interface (CLI) to enable or disable SNMP Set operations in Server
Administrator. For more information about the Server Administrator CLI, see the
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide.
NOTE: For IT Assistant to retrieve management information from a system running
Server Administrator, the community name used by IT Assistant must match a
community name on the system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to
modify information or perform actions on a system running Server Administrator, the
community name used by IT Assistant must match a community name that allows
Set operations on the system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to
receive traps (asynchronous event notifications) from a system running Server
Administrator, the system running Server Administrator must be configured to
send traps to the system running IT Assistant.
The following procedures provide step-by-step instructions for configuring
the SNMP agent for each supported operating system:
• “Configuring the SNMP Agent for Systems Running Supported Windows
Operating Systems"
• “Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported Red Hat
Enterprise Linux"
• “Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server"
• "Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported VMware
ESX 4.X Operating Systems to Proxy VMware MIBs"
• “Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported VMware
ESXi 4.X Operating Systems"
Configuring the SNMP Agent for Systems Running Supported Windows
Operating Systems
Server Administrator uses the SNMP services provided by the Windows
SNMP agent. You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community
name, enable Set operations, and send traps to a management station.
To configure your SNMP agent for proper interaction with management
applications such as IT Assistant, perform the procedures described in the
following sections.
NOTE: See your operating system documentation for additional details on SNMP
configuration.
